FŌDA Festival | Discover Food Innovation Today

Overview

When: Sunday, 27 September 2026.

FODA Festival bills itself as a festival of food ideas, running 26 and 27 September 2026 across two Bristol venues: The Arnolfini and The Fish Tank at Salt and Malt.

With a focus on food innovation rather than a conventional street food lineup, it suits visitors curious about new ideas in food as much as those looking for something to eat.

Highlights

• Festival of food ideas
• Two harbourside venues
• Bristol
• Weekend event

What to expect

Expect a programme built around food ideas and innovation, spread across two harbourside venues rather than a single market site.

Who it's for

Visitors interested in food innovation and ideas, alongside the usual festival-goer looking for a harbourside day out.

Getting there

The festival spans The Arnolfini and The Fish Tank at Salt and Malt, both on Bristol's harbourside — a well-connected, walkable part of the city.
